KELLER. ASHINGTON'S pitchers szem to be pretty good| pitchers until they tackle | the Browns. Then they| deteriorate into plain throwers.| Although the Na‘ionals have| licked Bill Killefer's club in exght‘ of a dozen games this season, their pitchers have been well punished by the St. Louis oumt.‘m Only twice has a Washington | hurler started against the Browns | and finished. | And the two starters who finished | did so on the same day, Sunday, May 17, in Sportsman's Park in St. Louis. Al Crowder went the route in the first game of the double-header to take a licking, while Lloyd Brown went all the way in the second to victory. So well have the Browns liked the g, Washington brand of hurling this year :‘l that in the box scores of the tussles with them there are 25 entries cf Washington pitchers. An average of a bit_more than two to a game. This St. Louis club has been much tougher for the Natior than the present stending of the interclub series & —eight wins for the Johnson band against four defeats. The Natiorals have cutscored the Browns by only five runs, having totaled in the dozen engagements 73 tallies, while the Browns were picking up 68. | Just a rough foe this St. Louis ag- | gregation. But the Nationals are not the only ones to be pestered by the Browns this season. The A's have had their trouble with them. In fact, the Browns have the distinction of be- ing the only lot able to hold the league leaders to an even break. The league leaders have trimmed the second division leaders five times and have taken five trimmings from them. | ILLEFER'S pitchers have fared | somewhat better as starters than | members of the Washington mound staff in the annual series. especially the spindly Sam Grav. This veteran | 2lone has accounted for three of the | Brown's four victorles over the Na- tionals, going the route to each win. | He started once against them to take @ _beating. but hurled the entire game. | The other triumph over the Johnson crew was scored by George Blaeholder &nd he pitched all the way. Gray registered his third triumph of the campaign over the Natlonals yes- terday in the opener of the four-game geries and showed plenty of pluck in doing so. Spotting the Natlonals four runs in the first inning when he walked a batfer, hit another and was nicked for four hits Sam snappel out of it after the rough round and only two more Natlonals found the runway the | remainder of the game | Ossie Bluege opened the seventh in- ning with a single, the fifth hit off | Gray, and never left first base. Sam | Rice ‘with one out in the eighth got a | single, the sixth hit off Gray, and never left first base. It was Gray's day and a grav dav for the Washington club. | Both pitchers employed by the home will liked by the Browns Crowder started and d’'d well for two innings. Then in_each of the next three innings the Browns combed him for three hits, the lasi of them a homer driven over the right field fence by Lin Stort! with Red Kress on the runway. That was the blow that put the Browns ahead. { Bob Burke then hurled four innings and was hit in each, the Browns raising their safety-total for the game to 15. Three of the hits coff the stringbean | southpaw were clustered in the eighth inning to give the visitors a brace of tallies they did not need. IGHT Nationals stepped to the plate in the big first inning. West opened it with a walk, and after Bam Rice fouled out Cronin singled. | Harry Rice's two-bagger scored West, | but Burns snared Kuhel's bounce, and | Cronin was run down for the second | out. Harry Rice made third and Kuhel second during the play. happened f: Bluege was pinked by one of Gray's pitches, and that crowded the bases. ~Hargrave's single tallied two and moved Bluege to third, from whei he counted when Hayes singled. Hayes was too ambitious and was caught when he endeavored to stretch the hit. There- | after the Nationals were out of the picture. With singles by “Bettencourt, Ben- gough and Schulte the Browns got a run in the third frame. They got two in the fourth from Storti's single, Burns’ double and Bengough's single. There were two out in the fifth before the Browns_jumped on Crowder to get the lead. Goslin, who had forced out Schulte, swiped second and scored the tying tally when Kress singled. Storti followed with his homer, and the game was gone. Bettencourt's single, Bengough's dou- ble, Gray’s long fly to West and Schulte’s_single accounted for the two runs off Burke in the eighth.

It may take two semesters to bring the Missourians up where they will be in & position to scrap for the bunt- ing, but I'm guess- ing that the Browns are going to nail an elephant next year, because the Browns are going to be good and the Athletics are going to be just fair.
